Daddy loved to get dressed up and go dancing o n Saturday nights. He worked in his yard 5 1/2 days every week, and went dancing Saturday nights.
This was his schedule for years until covid, he could not go dancing from 2020-2021 when the dances resumed. He continued to go dancing until late 2023 when his health began to decline, he did continue to work in his yard until May 2024. Not bad for someone 97 years old.
He had 2 kids that were his life over the past 15 years. A beautiful Calico cat named Miss Kitty who he raised from 2 weeks old, she passed away peacefully in his lap in May 2024. His other kid was a cream colored Lab named Georgie, she passed away on September 17, 2024, 5 days after he passed away. The three of them did everything together and they loved their Daddy. Both will also be missed, but I think losing Georgie is the hardest for me. When I came to visit she would always run to greet me with the most beautiful smile, she was my little sister.
They all hold a very special place in my heart and I will always miss them.
